The space

Very intimate studio with amazing close up ocean view. Cozy and romantic, it feels like the waves are rolling right in front even from this 30m high mirador. Walking distance to the beach (150m only) in the best part of Santa Teresa. Walking distance to best surf spots RocaMar, yoga classes and spa at resort Flor Blanca. Quiet ambience in a tropical landscape. No must of renting a car since everything you need is close by but recommended to explore. If you need to go to the busy commercial part of the village for shopping and action there are taxis always ready to come pick you up. The ocean view bed room is closed up and sealed for AC and keeping bugs out. king size bed, cable TV, cable speed internet, fully equip kitchen, one bathroom with hot water shower. Very close to pristine beach Playa Hermosa. Close to nice snorkeling tide pool. Close to all the finest gourmet restaurants in all types of flavors and styles like: Al chile viola, koji sushi, Tapas, and others. Perfect for honey moon or couple with young kid looking for good time in a more secluded ambience than regular hotels side by side units. Cable internet speed. Rare of a kind for quality, privacy and location for this price. The beauty and tranquility of that particular area will totally seduce you.

We had the pleasure of staying at Ugo's place for 3 weeks. It met and exceeded all expectations. The outdoor living spaces are thoughtfully laid out. It provides the necessary comforts (enclosed bedroom with a/c), while allowing most of the time to be enjoyed in this gorgeous setting. It is uniquely private. We explored the area and found nothing else like it!
The area itself is very nice too. We were close to the beach, not far from the grocery store, and some restaurants. We rented an ATV for the trip (good call-bumpy, steep roads would be challenging in a car), and we explored the whole area. There are beautiful sights all around, fun day trips, good restaurants (Al Chile Viola), and gorgeous beaches!!!
Ugo was a fantastic host! We appreciated his quick response time, travel arrangement assistance, local recommendations, and general overall pleasant demeanor. This place is a rare find!
And the outdoor shower is sure to be a favorite...

This place was incredible! 100% lived up to the description and reviews others provided. Ugo was very communicative yet respectful of privacy. The wifi connection worked flawlessly which was great because I had to work remotely at times. Walking distance to beautiful beaches and secluded from the noise and dust of the main part of town. After a few days it felt more like home than my real home! Thank you Ugo for the great experience! Pura Vida!

Considering the glowing reviews that have been left about this place, I had pretty high expectations, and they were right on target. First off, the view... one and a half full walls of the studio are glass, facing out onto lush landscaping and a gorgeous vista of the sea spread out below (incredible sunsets!!!) so every morning really is waking up in paradise. The outdoor kitchen is charming and surprisingly well-stocked with utensils as well as appliances, which is not an easy feat when said appliances are exposed to the elements as they are. As others have said, the wildlife is very present here without being overwhelming: we saw lots of iguanas, several different raccoons, and nighty marches of the leaf-cutter ants, as well as extremely confident birds that came by in the mornings to see if we were dropping any crumbs from the breakfast table. My favorite part of the apartment was the outdoor bathroom with outdoor shower - there is a heated shower in the "indoor stall", but the better shower is the fully outdoor one, which if you use it at the end of the day provides a seemingly endless stream of warm water to wash the day of sun and surf off you.
Ugo could not have been a better host... very concerned with our well-being and offered an excellent list of suggestions that we were able to utilize for restaurants and activities. We will definitely be back. Thank you Ugo!!!

Every aspect of our stay was fantastic. Jesus and Lohanna were amazing and fun. The location was great and the views outstanding. A real taste of Costa Rica.
The only thing I would say:- it's on a steep hill and the steps to the upstairs bedroom are open plan:- so with a two year old it was a little challenging at times but we made it work and it was worth it.
The shower and toilet are outside in the studio which meant amazing views but occasional bugs. But again:- worth it!
Ugo was extremely responsive and checked in on us multiple times.
If you want a real Costa Rica adventure I couldn't recommend this place enough.

My husband and I stayed at Ugo's retreat for 4 weeks. It is a wonderful spot - the bed is comfortable, the outdoor kitchen is reasonably well equipped, and the outdoor lounging spaces are fantastic. The house is very private and has a spectacular view of the ocean. Ugh was an excellent host. I highly recommend this studio and hope to return one day.

Open Air kitchen; spectacular sunsets from the studio. Great place to relax with family. Easy walking distance to multiple beaches.
Wonderful host; thorough instructions info for ferry and other recommendations for groceries. Assisted with additional baby items (high chair, pack & play bed).
